Rowdy Reservoir Ride

Hello Possums!

Wow, what a beautiful day in Los Angeles.  And I got to share it with a dozen or so of my friends and teammates on one of my favorite routes: the classic "Tour de SFV" ride.  From my signature meet-up spot by the tennis courts in Encino, we cruised up Balboa to Rinaldi and then over to the beautiful Chatsworth Reservoir, where many years ago I learned how to shift gears on my first ten speed.  

I love taking my riding buddies to the reservoir because it's just so beautiful!  The rolling road just begs for a good sprint.  And the mighty oak trees and imposing boulders along the route make for a breathtaking setting. 

Thanks to my teammates from New Bear Republic for coming out to join me.  And a special shout out to Rodney, who got his second flat tire ever (after getting his first with me several years ago!)  Glad we could get you safely to a bike shop, and happy you're now riding on safe new tires.  YAY!

RIDE BIKES!!!!
